Description Vladimir Benes 2013-04-24 12:45:02 UTC
Description of problem:
When I switch to VT and back while I am recording a video in gnome shell via ctrl+alt+shift+r I got some strange time hole in recorded video. Totem plays first part correctly, then the second after I am back to gnome shell is somehow fastened (starting again from 0 time).
In VLC I get recording till switch, then video time is not moving for ten seconds ( talking about attached video) and then the rest is played correctly.
Can session be recorded while I am in VT? X and gnome shell are still running so I suspect it should be possible,   

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.8.1-1
gstreamer1-1.0.6-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start recording and do some actions
2.switch to VT and do some actions there and switch back to GS
3.do some more actions in GS and stop recording
  
Actual results:
there is some strange time hole in the video. Time of the video is good but the area while I am in VT is weird

Expected results:
video should be recorded even while I am in VT.

We cannot continue recording normally, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703431#c1.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2014-03-22 06:52:43 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 5 Michal Domonkos 2015-05-15 12:57:08 UTC
Same in GNOME-3.14 as the upstream bug hasn't changed since.

Comment 6 Michal Domonkos 2015-08-13 08:26:13 UTC
Actually, with
  gnome-shell-3.14.4-24.el7.x86_64

this works correctly, I guess.  A VT switch is recorded as a pause in the resulting video.  No artifacts or sudden acceleration is seen in the part of the video where the VT -> X switch happened, either.
